1. [Improved] arr.create now supports two new attributes path and raw_content making it even easier to create arrays
2. [Improved] Introduced 2 new shortcodes to enable additional DB connections as needed by the system dbserver.connect & dbconn.register. Also, mysqli.* shortcode now uses this new connection and keeps the WORDPRESS default connection and kept in primary_db
3. [Improved] Added support for o.arr_push to push a new item to an existing array, it uses array_push PHP function
4. [Improved] Introduced the support for util.constant. It returns an associative array with the names of all the constants and their values [uil.constant constant_key='' /]
5. [Improved] Added support for template types while adding new templates. Adding template_type='aw2_arr' will allow us to define templates that return arrays.
6. [Improved] Added support for _atts_arr to service.run shortcode so that we can pass to services the attributes at a template level.
7. [Fixed] Removed notices in case obj_id or obj_type is not defined.
8. [Fixed] Issue with converting a post_type to service.
9. [Fixed] Issue with .esc_sql - it was using WordPress function, converted it to an awesome function. 10.[Fixed] warning issue "failed to open stream" for external files.
10. [Fixed] Issue while redirecting query strings was not respected.

Example of how to use dbconn

First, need to define the constants in wp-config.php file

define('DB_CONNECTIONS',
	array(
		'primary_db'=>array(
			'host'=>DB_HOST,
			'user'=>DB_USER,
			'password'=>DB_PASSWORD
		),
		'external_db'=>array(
			'host'=>'localhost',
			'user'=>'dcwo',
			'password'=>'CB1ey'
		)
	))

then in init module of awesome core you can register them using the following shortcodes

[dbserver.connect db_connection='external_db' o.set=settings.connections.secondary_server /]
[dbconn.register dcwp db_name=dc_wo conn_path=settings.connections.secondary_server /]

Afterward, you will have access "dcwp" service similar to mysqli service to run queries directly to the database specified above.

Using Template Type Here is a quick sample of using template_type

[templates.add config template_type='aw2_arr']
  [steps]
		[step new type=pre_event]
			[service]analytics.pre_form_load[/service]
      [data]
        [event new category="flow" action="default_cmr::started" label="{@form_data.app_id}" /]
      [/data]
		[/step]
 	
  [/steps]
  [submit_steps_service _value='lt.basic-details-flow2.post_submit' /]
  [response_steps_service _value='lt.basic-details-flow2.response_config' /]
[/templates.add]

When the above template is called, it will return the steps array.

Example of new attributes of arr.create [arr.create path='@output.item.content' o.set='template.field_output' /]

[auth a1 method=wp_vsession all_roles='' /] [/arr.create] ` all_roles means, all the roles must be assigned to the user, it takes comma seprated list of roles and capabilites.

This is the first release of Awesome Enterprise that supports the ability to run the awesome code outside of WordPress using custom bootstrap files, giving you the ability to choose the environment.

You will find the sample index_bootstrap.php file in sample-index folder.

If you are using Nginx you will need to add the following in your conf file to allow the custom bootstrap file to work location /bs/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /index-bootstrap.php?$args; }

This release is created to test the composer stability test.
